Judge orders evidence preserved in Christa Pike's failed execution
Original: Judge grants emergency order to preserve all evidence in Christa Pike's failed execution
A Tennessee judge has granted an emergency order requiring that all evidence from Christa Pike's failed execution be preserved. Pike, the only woman on the state's death row, was convicted of a 1995 murder. The order comes amid questions over how the execution was carried out, and officials have not yet detailed what went wrong.
Why now: The failed execution and resulting court intervention have raised fresh concerns about Tennessee's lethal injection procedures.
